Hi
I have some problems with a roaming profile for a teacher at our school and
was wondering if someone could provide some assistance.
This is how it works over here:
Each member of staff who has a roaming profile has an entry in AD users and
computers under the profile path in profile which says
\\servername\teacherprofile$\nameofuser
On the server where all the roaming profiles are stored there is a folder
for each user and in their are the profile objects. Each user has full
control to their profile folder.
One particular user is having a right nightmare, basically his profile was
so big that we had to delete it and recreate a new one. So what I did was
create a new folder in the profile area with a new name and then told AD to
point to that new name.
So initially it began working and profile was small and everything was well,
but for some reason now all of the original objects have now reappeared
again!! I dont know how this could happen because i used a different profile
name so even if the teacher logged onto a machine which had his old big
profile on there I was expecting that it wouldn't reference to it because it
was a different name.
I have tried everything I can think of and am not getting anywhere with
this. Any advice on this would be most appreciated.
Thanks e had to delete it and recreate a new one. So what I did was create a
new folder in the profile area with a new name and then told AD to point to
that new name.
